Abstract
The disclosure herein describes a cut and strip tool to assist in the stripping of insulation from one or more insulated conductive wires; it comprises a pair of handles which are equipped, at their upper part, with an elongated wire receiving element including, at one end thereof, a cutting tool for completely severing the wire and, at the other end, a pair of wire receiving blades which make an incision in the insulation of the wires as they are inserted in the blades and which, upon actuation of the handles, initiate removal of a portion of the insulation so that the total effort for a complete insulation stripping operation is greatly reduced with the present tool as compared to that of conventional tools as a result of this initial insulation removal carried by the tool rather than by the operator.
